US President Nixon was extremely sensitive to the policy of protecting the secrecy of certain government documents. In order to expand executive powers, he redefined the definition of Top Secret. Previously, this term was used to protect US defense policy documents. The added definition included any documents, that if released to the public, could lead to the disruption of foreign relations that may affect the national security of the US. This was considered to be far too vague and allow the executive branch expanded secrecy powers according to Nixon's critics.
